 Here’s the blog entry for GSN founding partner Dan Thompson’s 10^th Run The World Challenge run, in Dubai (United Arab Emirates).

 We are passionate about sports statistics at GSN, so we’re excited about attending the Sports Analytics Innovation Summit on March 26^th – 27^th 2014 in London, organized by the Innovation Enterprise. 

I'm Nic Mira and I'm mad about sports. This is the primary reason why I've joined Dan Thompson and Hans Stocker on board the GSN rocket...for a rocket I'm sure it is, ready to propel the world of sports analysis to the next level.

The second and the third reasons are that I love sport statistics and that I think sport is an inherently virtuous activity: anything that promotes its better understanding, or its circulation as a subject of discussion, is a worthy endeavour.

To give you an example of what I think about when I'm not doing sports or working on GSN....

I've recently looked at the current Global Cup ranking: the USA are leading with a large margin, as was predictable after their handsome victory in the 2008 Global Cup.
